Avocado was not dubbed a superfood for nothing. This green fruit contains more healthy fats than most healthy carbohydrate-loaded fruits you know. Per 100 grams of serving, it contains 15 grams of healthy fats, 9 grams of carbs (7 grams of fiber!), and 2 grams of protein. It also contains anti- oxidants, caretonoids, and vitamins that promote good skin and hair health, which is why we see it a lot on skin and hair products. But avocado makes for a really great food staple—sometimes leaning towards the healthy, comfort food end of the spectrum—and it is one of those foods versatile enough to have any time of the day. Here are 7 excuses to have it:

Drink it

For a light breakfast to start the day with, have your avocadoe in a smoothie! You can also blend this recipe with almond milk, walnuts, mango, kiwi, and strawberries—if it isn’t packed with enough anti-oxidant goodness and healthy fats to promote glowing skin, then we don’t know what will.

On Toast

This is perhaps a popular way (especially for beginners) to have avocado: have it on toast. This one has an incredibly simple list of items, but it’s decadent: mashed avocado with slices of strawberries and melted goat cheese with a dash of salt and pepper. Enjoy how it crunches and slides in your mouth! Use this recipe for breakfast or as a snack. See full recipe here.

Most people make do with chicken and avocado burritos, but why not go one more mile with healthy goodness if you can? This chicken avocado burritos are herbed and spiced, and dressed with a creamy poblano garlic sauce. They are then baked to warm burrito perfection. Yum! See full recipe here.

This soup is so light and bursts with vibrant flavors you’d want to eat it for summer. Avocado is joined in by chicken and lime for a more packed soup, with notes from olive oil, cilantro, and jalapenos. See full recipe here.

Healthy Fries

We did say you can have avocado as comfort food, right? Here’s a crispy snack you can munch on: baked avocado fries. They’re seasoned with salt, pepper and chili powder for extra kick, and rolled in bread crumbs for extra crunch. Drizzle lemon juice over these fries after they pop out of the oven for a fresh finish. See full recipe here.

You should have seen this coming because at the end of the day, there’s always dessert. And the good news is you can have a healthier one in the form of these avocado brownies. They’re as fudgy as the ones made with flour and butter, and equally chocolatey, too! See full recipe here.
